Well some people said it was cocaine
Well people claim it was gin
Well I know the girl and the dwell house man

You know they found him in the back seat
Of an old abandoned Ford
When I touched the hand of my brother Bill
It was as stiff as a running board

              F
They put the last clean shirt
                    C
On my poor brother Bill
              G
They put the last clean shirt
F                   C
On my poor brother Bill

The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
As they lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face

Chorus:
              F
They put the last clean shirt
                    C

The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
They lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face.
